Wellbeing Coaching:
What is Wellbeing Coaching?
Wellbeing Coaching offers collaborative strengths-based peer coaching services, supporting students through their process and journey of behavior changes. Students can connect with coaches one on one both in-person or virtually to build plans towards reaching their personal wellbeing goals.
The wellbeing coach approach is rooted in curiosity, self-compassion, internal and community strengths, focused on eight Dimensions of Wellbeing: Emotional/Mental, Physical, Relational, Academic, Environmental, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Financial wellbeing.'
Topics students might collaborate with a coach on could include, stress management, life transitions, sleep habits/hygiene, mindfulness, community/connections building, etc.
What to Expect:
- You will meet one-on-one with an extensively trained peer Wellbeing Coach, who is an undergraduate or graduate student at Portland State.
- First sessions last one hour. Your coach will ask questions to get to know you and then help identify goals using the 8 Dimensions of Wellbeing and your personal strengths.
- Ongoing sessions last 45 minutes. Your coach will provide encouragement and a nonjudgmental space to discuss your goal progress.
Eligibility/Cost:
As a student at Portland State University, there is the Student Health Fee charged to your student account each term. This fee covers Wellbeing Coaching Services, and so there is no additional cost or fees to meet with a wellbeing coach. Students who don’t pay the Student Health Fee can still meet with a coach for one complimentary brainstorming session.
